Stayed for one night, dinner, bed and breakfast. Very friendly welcome and helpful staff throughout our stay. The evening meal was very good and the setting was lovely. The staff were interested in the future of the hotel and were keen to show you what was to happen in the near future. We hope that the refurbishment due in the...

On a beautiful bright day we toured the various restaurants and chose the Swan for its menu which is varied with traditional lunches but also modern light bites. We sat in the main restaurant which with table cloths and pleasant decor makes for a lovely setting for a meal. Seeing the two course set menu we went for that in...

We booked 2 nights for a 30th anniversary in pre school holiday July. We paid £185 a night for one of the Lighthouse rooms. We were looking forward to this, but we were surprised and very disappointed at what we got for the price. A small room with a facade that was very tatty and run down. I understand that...

We stayed here this week as a surprise for my 40th birthday.
My wife booked and the management were great, they'd organised balloons and a case of Adnams as a surprise.
We had room 15, one of the suites with amazing views of the sea and the market square.
Breakfast is equally fantastic as is the service at all times....

We had been gifted a dinner, bed and breakfast package. Friends who had stayed there all loved their experience. We had high hopes but I'm afraid that the service didn't live up to our expectations.
Check in was brief. We were instructed about the facilities at high speed; I am sure that this was just repetition but it lacked the...

Sincere apologies that your experience was not up to the standard of your friends previous visits. Your comments will be adressedwith the team to ensure our standards are not compromised again.

I loved this hotel, it's a bit different but great. I didn't stay in the main building but in one of the small lodges in the garden. They are so comfortable and make you feel at home in an instant. They have a homely feel about them but are not old fashioned at all. There's a small terrace in the...

Thank you for your review, glad you felt so welcome in the Lighthouse Rooms.

The Swan Hotel Southwold opitimeses the worst of our East Anglia hotels, Set in a picturesque seaside town full of maritime and wartime history the sheer beauty of a coastline
captured in Constable paintings is breathtaking only to be marred by the disappointing experience of staying in what is supposed to be the best hotel in Southwold.
The sheer laziness...

The Swan is in a great location at the bottom of the High Street, very close to the sea. We spent a couple of nights in a superior lighthouse room, which was delightful - spacious room and bathroom with a small outside seating area overlooking a garden. Very peaceful, and with a great view of the lighthouse beams radiating at...

I hope you return and enjoy another peaceful stay after the refurbishment

This was literally a last minute booking, on the morning (which was £125 for a room rather than the best price, the night before, of £185). If you bring pets, which is a plus point, you stay in the garden rooms at the rear of the hotel which are single story purpose built rooms ranged around a small garden -...

We enjoyed a superb lunch in this beautiful restaurant. We both chose roast beef which, for us couldn't have been better cooked. The Yorkshire pudding and veg were all perfectly cooked. I must mention the wonderful dessert. I chose pannacotta and was I pleased that I did! It was so delicious, with lime meringue, avocado and lime mousse.
With very...
